  if you want only one sequel of a specific movie, you’re not allowed to dislike sequels in general

    Exactly, because everyone wants one sequel for something, so there is no sequel where nobody asked for it, except for Jarhead

      I feel like a sequel to memento would be good so we can finally discover what happened before the big bang

  I don’t think they really wanted a sequel to that movie, I think they were just saying it teased a bunch of interesting stuff in its trailer but then never actually did any of that stuff in its plot, probably because the producers wanted to make everyone buy a ticket to a sequel that never happened, which is just another facet of how the film industry’s obsession with sequels and fictional universes is leading to the downward spiral they talk about in their other comment

  It honestly feels like this post was put together by an LLM that just saw the word “sequel” in two different sentences but didn’t have any ability to read context and figured it must be ironic

    If they want another movie to continue the story, they want a sequel.

    Some sequels are good, like the Lord of the Rings trilogy which includes two sequels. Some sequels are bad, because they continue an already completed story andmay even retcon some of fhe original story.

    They want good sequels, not bad sequels. They still wanted a sequel.
